Far's thon Stuart Baxter these days?
I'd rather not have Levein, as much as anything because of all the negativity around him in Scottish football at the moment....don't think he'd be too popular with some players, either current or prospective, which could be a problem.
We need someone who can motivate the squad, use them at their best (Magennis, Vernon), get rid of the dead wood (Magennis, Fallon?) keep the youngsters and keep bringing them through, and do all this on pennies. Not sure anyone on that list fits the bill (not sure ANYONE does TBH)
Anyway
Derek Adams Doubt he'll come
Craig Levein See above
Billy Stark Hmmmmmm, could he attract the calibre of player we need
Derek McInnes Maybe?
Alex McLeish Too expensive
Paul Hartley Why? (as others have said)
Allan Moore Maybe, but see comment on Stark
Mixu Paatelainen Wouldn't say no (but would he worry about the "former-favourite-backlash if he doesnt have us winning every week from the start?)
Eric Black Again, maybe, but would he want too much money and see Mixu re backlash
Allan Johnston 16/1
John Collins 16/1
Kenny Shiels 16/1
Phil Brown 20/1
Scott Booth
